I have mine mounted on the Xenocron bracket bolted to my core support facing the turbocharger. Keeps the hoses short.

Mine is mounted right behind the drivers side headlight using the Xenocron bracket. I just used a bolt and fastened it in one of the factory bolt holes on the frame rail.

Mine is a forward facing setup, so it made choosing a location a little easier.
